It’s not easy for tennis players to date their colleagues and Denis Shapovalov and Mirjam Bjorklund know 2 or 3 things about this. The Canadian ace and the Swede try to spend their time together as much as they can. Usually, tennis players of similar rank have an easier life as they can program their schedules around slams and events hosting ATP and WTA tournaments in the same moment. Unfortunately, that is not the case of Denis and Mirjam. Shapovalov is currently ranked no.14 and therefore he usually plays in top events while that is not the case for Bjorklund as her current rank is no.318.
Mirjam tries to follow Denis as much as she can. She was with him in New York before heading back to Europe to play in Prague and Figueira Da Foz. Her only option to support her boyfriend was to send a message on social media
. After a recent US Open match, Denis revealed the huge role that his girlfriend is having in his professional life as she “forced him” to learn to “man-up.”Currently, Shapovalov is competing in the 2n round in Rome while Bjorklund is about to play the 2nd round in Zagreb. That’s their life. Why not?
